I've been thinking too much
I just want to live now for a little while
And cast my dreams to the wind

曲:曇りのち、快晴 - 矢野健太 starring Satoshi Ohno

been neglecting the blog recently - somehow havent had the enrgy or the time to think about what to write. but something that happened last week will always stay in my mind, and it is the reason why im typing this up on the laptop now. =) i used to keep diaries, ive lost some precious ones from primary school times, but in secondary school i had stacks of sketch books that i would fill up with drawings, notes, and thoughts. and these books stayed with me till now, so that when i look back at them, i can rmb the kind of person i was in the past. and somehow because the memories were more recent, i felt i didnt change much from the past till now.

until last week, mum called while i was in hall and said someone sent me a package of two books, with a note. mum had thrown away my old school desk, and in it were two ooold diaries that she never saw. someone retrieved the desk to reuse it, and found my diaries. this guy wrote a note to me, saying that he found my diaries, and he felt that these were precious memories that i would treasure, and therefore posted them back to me. my address was on the inside of one of the books - you know, when you were young you would write "if lost, please return to" msges on the inside cover? and the guy was right, they were memories i would treasure and im so grateful he sent them back to me.

they were notebooks i wrote in secondary one, just when i entered rv, and just by reading them, i realised how much ive changed. i wrote honestly then, with a young schoolgirl's mind, and seriously, i was shocked by how i used to think. i wasnt proud of some of the things i used to think and write in that book, but somehow i think those are important parts of me, and it shows how much ive grown up. i was really amazed that ive forgotten that this was how i used to think at least 9 years ago.

So, Erwin, whoever you are, im grateful for the chance you gave me to see myself again. =)
